Boat access and site selection are best handled by a local Mirissa dive center.
Diyaba Pare is a Mirissa boat-access reef with a sandy base and wall-like relief, making it a good fit for guided reef dives when the sea is settled. The site is more about the changing reef shape and reef life than a demanding swim, so it works best as a conservative boat plan with the local crew watching the south-coast sea state.
